Passenger seat rattle

[Clack]

Any one fix this? The seat bolts are tight but it rattles around on the rails like no tomorrow.

Do you mean where the seat back clips in?

I used some flexible tubing from the hardware store on those pegs. I used some black tape prior to that.

There's a slight rattle at the hinge but the main rattle comes from the back of the seat rails sliding and bouncing.

I also have this rattle/looseness where the seat rides/slides in the rails. Doesn't seem to be anything that one could tighten only replace. I'm looking for a cure. Other than total replacement

Here is the only 'fix' I know of...

I have the ProCar seats in mine and they rattle too. I was a bit dissappointed after throwing down the dime, they are noisier than my stock seats.

Mine rattles as well. I am getting ready to replace the seat foam, so I'll look at it closer when I have the seat apart.

I never have them anything but all the way back so maybe I'll just JBweld the rails into place. :shrug:

Wow, I completely read this wrong. Sorry. You might be able to put some very heavy duty grease in the slides? That might get messy though.

Are there any nylon pads that have worn out? Maybe some new ones could be made by hand.

Very bad news... I have not purchased them yet but they were/are on the radar.

My passenger seat rattles from the bracket joining the back to the lower seat...

There seems to have been a bushing or something there to provide a snug fit and mute the metal on metal rattle. Mine has quite a bit of play in it and every little bump gets the rod bouncing around in the hole. I was going to invest some time in fixing this but then decided to replace the seats since the welds on the driver's seat bracket gave way as well. I have the 'detroit lean' going on and I'm not even trying...
